Emmanuel W. Ayaburi

Emmanuel W. Ayaburi serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Information Systems and Business Analytics at Baylor University, where he teaches MIS 4342 - Fundamentals of Information Security. His academic profile reflects a strong foundation in both engineering and business disciplines, supporting his interdisciplinary research approach.

His formal education includes:

• PhD in Business (Information Technology), The University of Texas at San Antonio (2017)
• MBA, Colorado Heights University, Denver, Colorado (2012)
• BSc in Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi, Ghana (2006)

Dr. Ayaburi's research program critically examines human-technology interactions in cybersecurity and innovation contexts. He investigates behavioral determinants of phishing susceptibility through reformulated locus of control frameworks, organizational image repair strategies following data breaches, and user engagement dynamics in open innovation platforms. His work bridges information systems theory with practical organizational security challenges, emphasizing psychological and sociotechnical factors.

His publication record (2023-2025) demonstrates consistent contributions to premier information systems journals, revealing three interconnected research trajectories: behavioral cybersecurity (phishing, protective technology adoption), data breach consequences (victimization, reputational repair), and digital innovation mechanisms (crowdfunding bundling, decolonial fundraising). These works employ diverse methodologies including longitudinal surveys, field experiments, and multi-stakeholder analyses.

No formal scientific awards or major honors are documented in the provided materials, though his service as a reviewer for top-tier journals and mini-track chair for international conferences indicates significant peer recognition within the information systems community.

The available information does not specify doctoral or master's students advised by Dr. Ayaburi, nor does it reference externally funded research grants. His scholarly activities appear focused on independent and collaborative publication in high-impact venues without mention of dedicated research teams or laboratory facilities.
